Battalion Editorials Page 2 THE BATTALION FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1952 Applications for Danforth Fellowships Now Accepted Students Remain True To Best Of Traditions OESPONSE BY A&M students to members of the Baylor student body last night at yell practice is a credit to our college. , Sportsmanship has been on the climb here during the last decade and has proved a credit to the Corps of Cadets and A&M. The manner which students greeted and listened to Baylor’s representatives is above reproach, since many held the Green and Gold paintings as a project of the Waco school. We are proud the Aggies remained “Sold iers, Statesmen and Knightly Gentlemen” last night. The “painting sprees” on both the A&M and Baylor campuses during this week have been unfortunate, but neither school can be held responsible. We do not know that they painted our campus. And no one knows who spread an artistic waste on the Waco campus. But this we do know: “To be innocent is to be not guilty; but to be virtuous is to overcome our evil inclinations.” Undoubtedly many members of our foot- • The first and simplest emotion which we discover in the human mind, is curiosity.—Burke. Continue to Live, Drive Carefully jl/l'ORE THAN 39,000 persons will meet their death via automobile accidents in 1952. Today and tomorrow about 4,000 A&M students will be on Texas highways. During the last few years we have been fortunate in having few fatal automobile accidents. Taking the regular precautions while on the road can save your life. And the life of someone else. Don’t be one of the 39,000. Take it easy on the road. I do pity unlearned cjentlemen on a rainy day.—Falkland. Why Not Webster? npHE ENGLISH language is a tricky one. So much in fact that both Webster’s Dictionary and students find their identifi cation of some words nebulous. Filling out different forms at A&M many humorous answers are uncovered. Es pecially for the question “Marital status?” Answers from applicants vary thusly: ‘Once.” “Very Strong.” “Satisfactory.” ‘Part-time.” And Webster’s defines “marital: pertain ing to a husband.” Could be.

But our yell leaders expressed it best when they said: “Saturday on the football field will be the time and the place.” It is in our fair and sportsmanlike and virtuous achievements by which people want to remember us and claim affiliation to us. The worth of a college, in the long run, is the worth of the individuals composing it. Let’s remain in the spirit of good sports manship and fair play throughout the year as we did last night.

During this week of Oct. 19-25, this coun try has celebrated the seventh annivarsary of the world united organization with posters, flags, window displays, speeches, publicinzing the name United Nations. The reason for the celebration was ex plained by Ralph Bunche, who said: “Every demonstration of confidence in and support of the United Nations by the American peo ple is cheering and reassuring to peace-lov ing peoples throughout the world.” . Here are some of the accomplishments of the UN during its seven years of life: The UN effected peace between Israel and neighboring states and also halted hostilities between India and Pakistan over Kashmir. Warfare has stopped in Indonesia because of the UN and a free and independent re public was established as was in the former Italian colony of Libya in 1952. Withdrawing of French and British troops from Syria and Lebanon in 1946 was instigated by the Security Council and the same year Soviet forces withdrew from Northern Iran because of the UN. Adopting in 1948 the Universal Declara tion of Human Rights, the first international proclamation of the fundamental rights of every human being, and the Genocide Con vention, which went into effect in January, 1951, prohibiting liquidation of religious or ethnic groups, the UN also continues to move forward with its International Court of Jus tice and is constantly adding to the body of recognized international law. Improvement of living standards by the UN Expanded Program of Technical Assist ance and the feeding of more than 10 mil lion children and vaccinating 18 million through the Specialized Agencies of the UN. History’s first collective action against aggression with the Korean action. And it is in Korea that the United Na tions is at the crossroads. The outcome will determine its next birthday.

We believe, too, that when it comes to sportshirts the college man is no different from his older brother in town. He doesn’t go for fads and screwball styles. But he does go for smartness, good work manship . . . and above all, value. That is why we believe you’ll like the new selection of sportshirts by Manhattan®. For they have all these qualities, plus a distinctive air that sets them above the ordinary shirt. So ask for Manhattan ... the college man’s sportshirt. P O G O By Walt Kelly eropTueHlM?
